JBL PRX-615M 2-Way Active Speaker

With 1000 watts and a rugged enclosure, the JBL PRX615M is a versatile powered speaker with enough oomph for any occasion. Perfect as mains for small and mid-sized venues and portable enough for the road, the PRX615M is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a big sound in a manageable package. For larger systems, the PRX615M serves as an outstanding floor monitor, and like the rest of the PRX600 series, has been designed by JBL to maximize sound quality and efficiency with an array of new features and advanced specifications. With all of this in a single lightweight enclosure, the JBL PRX615M strikes an amazing balance between performance and portability.

True Versatility in a Powerful Speaker

The PRX615M packs serious power with ample frequency range for use as mains in small and mid-sized venues. Weighing just 43.5 lbs each and built to withstand the pressure of the road, the PRX615M is ideal for mobile DJs and gigging performers who need portable gear they can trust. The monitor mode alters the frequency characteristics to better match the needs of on-stage monitoring, and the enclosure's asymmetrical design allows the PRX615M to be flipped on its side as a wedge. The combo XLR 1/4" input can accept direct signals from instruments and mics, and the loop through output allows for easy integration into a daisy-chain or any other multi-speaker system. With a standard pole-socket and eight M10 suspension points, the PRX615M can find a home in virtually any live sound set-up.

The JBL PRX 600 Series

The JBL PRX 600 series represents the latest in JBL's constant innovation in the world of powered PA. Built to overcome common obstacles of sound reinforcement, the PRX600 series uses efficient Class D amplifier technology from Crown, limiter and crossover circuitry from DBX, and JBL's own signature drivers to create unparalleled sound quality and performance. All PRX 600 models are built and tested for durability with dense plywood construction and JBL's DuraFlex finish. With four speaker and two sub-woofer models to choose from, the JBL PRX600 series provides limitless options for outstanding powered PA configurations.

Like the rest of the JBL PRX600 series, the PRX615M delivers the power you need in a reliable and rugged speaker. With an array of features making this one of the most versatile powered speakers on the market, the PRX615M can find a home as monitor or a main, on the road or permanently installed. For true versatility and unquestioned quality, the JBL PRX615M is an excellent choice for your next powered PA speaker.

JBL PRX-615M 2-Way Active Speaker

Offering the perfect balance between size and performance; the JBL PRX615 is small, lightweight, versatile and powerful. The asymmetrical design with outstanding performance makes this a perfect choice for musicians, entertainers and DJ's when portability is key. Convenient suspension points offer an additional option as an exceptional light-duty installation speaker.

Applications
For applications requiring full bandwidth sound reproduction, the PRX615M delivers the optimum balance. For live music, recorded music playback and speech the user has the option of tailoring the EQ, 'flat' for speech intelligibility, and 'boost' for enhanced bass and crisp highs in recorded music playback. A microphone can be directly connected to the speaker input for quick PA applications. Coupled with a PRX600 sub-woofer the system becomes an efficient, full-range sound system.

All PRX600 cabinets are built from a combination of 25mm (on the top and bottom for added rigidity) and 18mm, strong, light-weight poplar plywood made structurally sound with tongue and groove joints. All PRX600 Series cabinets are protected by JBL's tour proven DuraFlex finish. Grilles are made from dent-resistant 16 gauge steel and handles are made from light-weight glass-filled nylon for added strength and durability. All M10 suspension points are constructed from 14 gauge steel and have been tested with a yield-strength of 1000 lbs. each.

The amplifier input panel offers XLR or 1/4 inch jack compatibility and a sensitivity switch provides extra flexibility, making it possible to connect literally any sound source without using a mixer. Signal present and overload lights indicate the system status and assist in setting the optimum level, via the level control knob.

"Fit for any test!"

Sound:
The sound quality is pretty amazing. clear through the whole frequency range. Outstanding for vocals. As well as just D'Jing. When compared in a side by side with the k12 I though that these speakers were much clearer and more defined where as the k12's seemed warmer even a little muddier than these. These are well built speakers. The bass response is pretty amazing also and for smaller gigs or dj events would work perfect by themselves. If the industry standard is the k12's right now I feel like these take it for the new standard at this price point. I didnt get a chance to hear the ELX's, but then again I don't think I needed to.
Feature:
I agree with others the buttons on back could have some more seperation. I am barely concerned about the fan unit these things lack. Honestly if I am running them hard enough where they thermal. I should probably be running bigger speakers. I run my pair turned to 12 o clock on the rear of the speaker and I have plenty of head room on my board. Pretty much everything sounds good out of them.
Ease of Use:
Plug them into a board and go. Pretty easy to get great quality sound with them. I hope to Use them as side fill wedges someday. For now the make great mains and sit nicely over my subs. These will easily fill up almost all the bars I would play around town.
Quality:
I really like the look. And the feel of these speakers is pretty amazing. Wood cabinets are the way to go.
Value:
I feel the price is right. At 800 a speaker I feel they are well worth it. The EV's may be cheaper and sound quality may be very similar to these but, I subscribe to the idea that sometimes if you spend a little more that the thing will be a little more well built and last you down the road. I did a lot of research like days before I tested these against competitors. I was skeptical at first because I have heard some bad jbl stuff but these. Really do raise the bar.
Manufacturer Support:
Only based on the fact that I haven't had to use them yet. This may slide down if I ever do. I take pretty care of my stuff though so, I don't anticipate needing jbl and it seems to be well built.
The Wow Factor:
I bought them. Pretty easy decision
Overall:
I can see these as my main speakers for awhile and eventually becoming great side fill wedges when I upgrade my mains to 3 ways. I will always use these for small gigs or small dj gigs where 3 way speakers aren't necessary. I am a gigging musician, sound man, dj, and karaoke dj. I get nothing but compliments and praise on the sound reproduction of these speakers. These replaced my first sound system mains and they run circles around the competition.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"Unbelievable Sound Quality"

Overall:
I looked around for several months for a Home/Pro PA Speaker and was blown away by the sound quality of this JBLPRX-615M. I looked at Yamaha and some others but the quality was not even close. I would highly recommend this speaker to anyone in the market shopping for PA Speakers.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds "I've bought several items from zZounds. I had purchased a bass amp and had to return it because of a manufacturing defect. I received a return slip and shipped it back with no problems. The shipping on a bass combo amp isn't cheap! I've even used the online chat to discuss equipment and actually talked to a bass player that gave some great recommendations on filling out the total sound of my rig. zZounds rocks and will be my exclusive gear store!"
